Short-Term Running Goals:

Now that I'm (almost for sure) done having all the babies, I'm working on building consistency and seeing how fast I can get in my old age. ;)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to be a healthy and relatively injury-free runner for the rest of my life.

Personal:

I'm married to Eric (Faceless Ghost on the blog) and we have very active daughters and one dog. I have a PhD in sociology and demography, and I'm incredibly grateful to have work that is meaningful and that builds on my academic experience. I run because it makes me feel strong and it helps to keep the crazy away (there is a long history of abuse and mental illness in my extended family).

Total Distance

0.30

We had errands and yet more unpacking today, so it was almost 7 when we were ready to head over to the gym. We called first and found out that it was about to close, so we bundled up to head outside for our runs (I only wanted a couple of miles, so Eric was going to run with me until I was done and then continue on his own). It felt warmer than it was last night, and I was ready to buckle down and just get it done, but the sidewalks were super icy and I'm pretty afraid of falling down. Or tweaking my back. So I turned around after about a block. I'm counting it, though. And we're going to post a gym schedule in our apartment.

"Best gym ever"? Not quite.

I think we are neighbors - I'm in American Fork! I belong to that "Best Gym Ever" and hate the 7pm Saturday night close time.

I too ran the Beat the New 5k...it was so slippery!

Cat, out of all the bloggers that have logged miles this year, you have the lowest. If it's too icy, tie a rope around Eric and have him pull you like Napoleon did to Kip. It will still count toward your overall mileage.

Burt - Yeah, Eric pointed that out to me, too. He thought it was funny. I think it's sad.

Between the two of us, we're doing wonders for your self esteem :)

But on the bright side, you increased you mileage by more than ten times last night alone :)

Toby - Yes, it was so slippery! I was just glad I didn't fall down. :)
